That's not for participation!

Oh, no! That's a real, live, hard earned trophy.



You can't tell it by the look on his face, but I swear he was about to pee his pants.

All his idea, brought to life with a little help from the grown-up types. Smoked on the pinewood derby track because Mama accidentally glued one of the wheels into a stationary position (oops!), but the judges were impressed.

Best in show, that's my boy!

New life...

My congratulations this weekend go to Whymommy, who had a successful surgery and is now home recuperating with her lovely family.

And to my darling Canape, whose sweet Bird made his entrance into the world yesterday.

Take a minute to offer them both a Hooray!

Tomorrow

Tomorrow, all my prayers are for Whymommy, who will begin her life again.

Tomorrow, please reserve some of yours for a woman who is an amazing source of inspiration for so many of us.

Susan, I wish you a smooth surgery, a speedy and complete recovery, and a million more tomorrows.

You are cordially invited...

To a potluck wedding reception.

How do we feel about this??

It's a second marriage, and a small family affair at that. But I've never been to a covered dish wedding before.

I'm kind of intrigued.

A whole half!

Already? Impossible.



Happy halvsies, my sweet girl.

Hand me a brick...

I am so not ready for this.

Thankful Thursday

Boy's follow up today. The pediatrician? Totally overreacted.

There is absolutely nothing wrong. He's just made the way he's made. So after a *VERY* brief "What a load of crap!" moment...

Woo Hoo!!

So today I am thankful for a healthy boy, and that healthy girl right down there. For good friends, a *mostly* good husband, and, well, yadda, yadda, yadda...

'sa good day.
